What brand of roof cargo basket do you recommend ?
Thule MOAB 690
yakima Load warrior
yakima mega warrior
rola
safari pro-line
surco
the vehicle I want to mount this on will be my yukon for FYI
off road lighting options are a plus
looks like the surco & yakima are the ones with options for this for additional $$

That one looks very similar to the Coleman rack I have. I don't carry heavy loads on my roof but it has been great for firewood, wet stuff after a beach trip, carrying two kayaks, etc. I just couldn't justify a high dollar rack for what little I use it for.

I had a mega warrior back in the early 2000's, i hated that thing. More is not always better. It was heavy, didnt like to stay put with the yakima cross bar, and rusted rather quickly.
I do actually have a pic lying around of it on my old exploder.
I'm sure the same qualities are true of most big steel racks/gear baskets. I'm taking a hard look at alloy made stuff now. Specifically trying to decide between the steel or alloy ARB rack.

What? You don't name your vehicles?
surco roof rack
I highly recomend SURCO. Some of my friends have used thier racks for years so I got one for my Jeep ZJ and couldn't be more happy. It's light and strong. Their customer service is great too. One of the mounts broke and after I sent SURCO a pic of the broken mount they sent me a new one for free. I did pay for 2 day shipping but I requested the rush on the shipping. They are great to deal with and you can actually speak to a human when you call SURCO.

i've got the rola with the length extension on my durango - really happy with it. the top tube is large enough for some standard tube light mounts.

I bought yesterday a Rola locally off of craigslist, it was really too small for my yukon, here in my video you will see photos & such

looks like the poll is favoring the megawarrior & I have to say it is catching my eye as well more & more
